Cornhole anyone?

I've been working on a few Father's Day gifts. Here is one, it is a desk size corn hole. Oh my gosh, it's so fun.

On this project I used Baltic Birch. I did sand the board and primed it before cutting. Next time I will also paint the board before cutting.


I painted the pieces with some blue paint I had on hand, used gold leaf foil around the hole opening and MasterTouch Gold paint where it is engraved.



The laser file I purchased did come with the cuts for the tossers to be cut from wood, but my husband asked if I would make some fabric bag tossers. I couldn't tell him no, so I made some and they are adorable. I didn't have dried corn on hand, but my husband remembered we had popcorn seeds from the popcorn maker. - bonus that they were expired, so there was no guilt using them. 😅 


This cornhole is approx. 10.75 x 8. I think it is going to be a great addition to his office. 


I am working on adding a few corn holes in my shop, so keep a look out.   

Thanks for swinging by, and I hope you have a good day. 😊

Revisiting an older DIY post.

UPDATE: To an older DIY and post.   I had added some paper to the inside of this cute metal envelope holder. You can find that post here:  https://maddiemarrs.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-quick-and-simple-diy.html . Although it came out cute, something was off Something about the bronze was just not hitting me the way the way I wanted it to, so, I decided to paint it white - and now, I love it! You can see that in this photo I had already done a light sanding. I used white gesso for this project.  Lots and lots of gesso.  ðŸ˜… Oh my gosh, since it's metal, I can add magnets! How fun! I am going to leave it as is, but it would look great distressed. For now this will be on our mantel as part of our Valentine display. Afterwards, it will probably be hung in my studio and hold some yarn. I do love this, it screams happy. Until next time, Maddie

My Garage My Tools My Rules Sign Decor using my Glowforge Laser

This wood sign was made using my Glowforge laser, and is hand painted by me. This would make a great Father's Day gift.  However, as I sit here typing this,  I just thought of how fun this would be in pink, maybe some gold, maybe some glitter? I don't know, it sounds like it would be adorable. I  may have to put that on the list of projects I'd like to get done.  The sign is approximately 15 x 10.8 and sealed with a matte finish.  If you are interested in this piece, please click on the SHOP tab above or click on this link:  Garage Tool Rules Sign Thank you for stopping by and have a happy crafty day, Maddie
